I don't know if Smash will motivate me enough to get a Wii U this time. I got a Wii almost 2 years after Smash released. Might pick it up on the 3DS to see if the online works. I'm feeling a bit iffy about getting a Wii U now.

I wonder what reveal we'll get in April...no games really release in that month and I dunno if they're going to ever release characters based on anniversary again since there has only been one instance of that really(Peach). Maybe it'll be like Marth and be a random reveal not tied to any dates.

I think we might get diddy soon as well as the ice climbers for their anny. I'd also like a new character reveal as well as a random vet one similar to what happened with marth. I'm hoping for ness in that case.

Jet hammer and his side smash were extremely predictable though. What's the use of strong attacks if you can't even hit with them?

Although I understand they were meant to be high risk high reward moves. It just didn't work in Brawl probably due to the low knockback with hitsun cancelling. If they keep it like it was in Brawl thry should make them moar stronger. The risk should equal the reward.

Saw a rumor talking about how Little Mac, Mii and the dog from Duck Hunt will be playable (Not posting because its most likely fake and I can't find the original source). Then saw that Ness will be the only playable earthbound character...

Speaking of roster size, how many do you guys think we'll be getting considering it will be the same amount on both consoles? He's mentioned something about the 3DS size before, so I wonder if that'll affect anything on the size.

If there really is a limitation the smallest roster must at least be bigger than the from brawl i say 39.But I don't think the limitation would affect the total number of characters rather the numbers of characters, items, and other things that can be shown on the small 3ds-screen what's reffering to the ice climbers. But I don't think they are a valid point anymore since we've got rosalina and luma who are also a 2 in 1 character. I also thought Rosalina & Luma could replace the Ice Climbers for that reason and it still could be imo.

I wonder if Sakurai will voice Dedede again or not...I'd prefer it that way but who knows they might make him sound like he is in the anime...which isn't bad but I'd prefer Sakurai's Dedede over it in terms of SSB4 Dedede.

One thing i've been wondering about is if the 3DS version would be a hindrance to the final roster number. I think most of us are operating under the assumption that it is a hindrance, and they won't be able to increase it all that much. What if it wasn't? What's the most we would see? 50? 55? When is it too many characters? Is too many characters even possible? Is that why sakurai injured himself? Playtesting over 60 characters by himself? lol

The other thing i'm wondering about is how the character select screen would even look on 3DS. I would guess the top screen would house all the characters, possibly in the classic grid. What about the bottom screen though? My thoughts take me back to 64, when you select a character you see a short animation on the bottom screen. That would be a nice touch.

The 3DS isn't that much of a hindrance actually. Tekken was able to have like 50 characters on the system and it didn't evenmax out the storage space and was less than 2GB. So at least in terms of character quantity it won't limit the game most likely.
I'd rather if the gane was like Melee's character select. Which had exclusive artwork just for the character selection box. Smash 64 just reused character victory animations(with the exception of Kirby) and obviously Brawl was the biggest offendor.

Steady increase of characters across installments might be feasible. Smash 64's number of fighters was in the '10s, Melee's number of fighters was in the '20s, Brawl's number of fighters was in the '30s, 4's number of fighters will probably be in the '40s.

What characters dont have predictable announcement dates? Since x and y release date wasnt used, I'd say all pokemon are in that category since there will be no new games released that we know of. Anyone know when ganondorf could be announced ?

If we had 15 newcomers on top of brawls 39 with no cuts, would that be ideal? Before you go, How did you come up with 15, that's too many!? There'll be cuts you know! Lets just throw that away for a minute.

Including the already announced ones which would you like to see?
1. Villager
2. WFT
3. Rosalina
4. MegaMan
5-15?

Ah, so I'm not alone. I'm torn though. It kinda feels wrong, yet right to replace Falco with Krystal...

Wolf i'm fine with because he's an antagonist and the roster needs more antagonist reps. But Falco is a clone and should be removed on thise grounds (or at the very least, have his moveset changed), although the Toon Link clone was retained so I think Falcos chances of retention are strong.

At least his Final Smash could have been different. Doesn't Falco hate the Landmaster?
